Research says: language and literacy

According to decades of science of reading research, skilled reading is the product of word recognition and language comprehension, meaning if one area is weak then reading comprehension is diminished. That’s why it’s critical to have both literacy and language skills taught in tandem.

Research says: evidence-based instruction and deliberate practice

Students receive direct, explicit, and systematic instruction and practice of skills tied to a connected text. This model is proven to improve students’ academic proficiency in language and literacy skills by building automaticity, fluency, and comprehension. 

Did you know?

Explicit and systematic instruction and practice creates neural pathways that don't exist in a preliterate brain.
